Walkthrough (Chapter Four) part 2

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Walkthrough (Chapter Four)

As soon as you pull yourself up, be prepared for a fight. Small Trolls -- enemies that are in no way, shape or form a major threat to you -- will make themselves seen in decent numbers, spawning from your left. Stay on the right side of the corridor and let enemies come to you, slaughtering them as they approach. These enemies shouldn't even touch you at this point. Once you've fended them off, set your sights on the gap in the pathway to your left. The game will prompt you how to cross this huge gap -- by dashing, and then running. Give it a try! Once on the other side, you'll need to fend off a small contingent of Small Trolls on your left before all is quiet (for the time being).

Shadow Gem (1/1)

You'll see a glowing wall to your right once over the jump. Use the same technique to destroy this wall as you did to destroy the wooden gate leading into the fortress a little earlier (by utilizing Shadow Magic). Once through the crumbled wall, you should find a dead body which is holding this Shadow Gem. Claim it.

Light Gem (1/2)

This stage is just giving these gems away! This one is admittedly difficult to find, however, and chances are you will miss it if you don't know precisely where to look. That, of course, is where we come in. Move left past where you found the last wave of Small Trolls, across from where the Shadow Gem was hidden. You'll immediately run into a chasm, and your eyes will be drawn to the whip hook above your head that will allow you to easily cross. But if you're extra observant, you'll also notice a hand-hold adjacent to the whip hook. Hook yourself onto the whip hook and crawl upward so that you can hold onto the side of the rockface. This will then allow you to use a hidden whip hook above to draw yourself up to an isolated, well-concealed platform. Not only will you find a Dark Crystal up here, but you'll also find a dead body containing a Light Gem.

Scroll (2/2)

Grabbing this scroll will require a bit of legwork, but nothing too crazy, especially since it's on the path you're supposed to take. After descending back down from the location of the Light Gem, and after jumping over the chasm, you should be able to head leftward up a rocky path. The path is completely linear. Enjoy the view as the path twists back towards one of the walls of the fortress. As you get near the fortress, you should run into more rubble blocking your path towards the door into the building. A dead body with this scroll sits right in front of that rubble.
